TiO 2 nanotubes or titanate nanotubes (TNTs), which are produced by hydrothermal
synthesis, have received increasing attention for photocatalytic applications due to their …

A titanate nanotube (TNT) film is demonstrated to provide a switchable and adhesive
hydrophobic surface. The surface adhesivity is reversibly switched from adhesive to …

In this work, the acid and photocatalytic properties of titanate nanotubes (NTs) were
surveyed. The surface acidity of the NTs was characterized by FTIR with lutidine and …

Smart devices, such as soft robots, artificial organs, and soft actuators, require materials that
adapt their morphologies and properties in response to their environment. These materials …

Centimeter-scale monolithic composites constituted of titanate nanotubes (TNTs) and titania
nanoparticles were hydrothermally prepared from a concentrated aqueous emulsion of …

A titanium (Ti) commercial cathode material and high purity Ar and O2 were used in the
cathodic arc physical vapor deposition (arc-PVD) process. The TiOx coating was deposited …

The superhydrophilic surface without ultraviolet light irradiation is obtained only through the
modulation of annealing process on surface morphology of TiO 2 coating. Meantime, the …

A superhydrophobic adhesive surface is applied to titanate nanotube (TNT) brushes through
surface modification using capric acid. Hydroxyl groups on the TNT brushes are reacted with …

Titanate nanotubes were synthesized via hydrothermal treatment of rutile TiO 2. The reaction
conditions were: particles sizes of TiO 2 having diameter between 0.05 and 0.5 μm, 10 M …

Monolithic materials are preferable for particular applications including heterogeneous
catalysts and absorbates compared to powdery materials because they are more easily …
